Topic: Terrestrial Flatworms in Britain - Additions Required

Dear Chris

I will upload a file to the files section as it is too large to attach to this message -  the file is a PDF paper by Howard D. Jones who retired from The University of Manchester in 2003.  The paper is entitled "Identification - British Land Flatworms" - and was published in 2005.

Flatworms listed as being recorded in the British Isles (inc. the Channel Isles) include 4 species for which there seems to be no current entry on the NBN Dictionary.  Could I please request that the following flatworm species are added to the dictionary as soon as is possible:

Microplana humicola Vejdovsky, 1890
Arthurdendyus albidus Jones & Gerard, 1999
Australopacifica coxii (Fletcher & Hamilton, 1888)
Caenoplana coerulea Moseley, 1877

Cheers and thanks

Steve

Re: Terrestrial Flatworms in Britain - Additions Required

Sorry Chris but forum will not let me post the paper - it says it is too large.

So, here is the link (URL) to the Flatworm paper:
